Can someone explain me the King Crimson and VDGG album's names? Seriously, I never quite understand them... :/ ------------- - From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. |

H to He Who Am the Only One by far, even though it would fit a Fusion album better.
I just gave a hint at the VdGG album. A deuterium nucleus, that's hydrogen (H) with one neutron, and a tritium nucleus (hydrogen with two neutrons) can be joined to become one helium (He) nucleus with two neutrons, one neutron being fired off with high energy. The title of the KC album refers to something culinary. Larks' tongues were highly valued as food and aspic is some gelatinous substance, not quite my taste. -------------

Larks' Tongues in Aspic is tenable, so it gets my vote. What stellar fusion has to do with the latter part of Who Am The Only One's title is beyond me, and Tales From Topographic Oceans is just gibberish; thinking about it, its original title, Tales From Tobographic Oceans, actually is a neat little stellar ocean reference even if the science behind it is bunk. Musically, hard to choose between Crimson and Generator. -------------

H and He was refering to the elements?  I always thought that was some kind of word play. "H, to he (someone) who am ...." some kind of existencialism... that doesnt seems to make sense anyway.And the other is a british strange eating stuff... well, that most certainly take away the mistery magic I had on that album. ------------- - From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. |

I voted for Tales. Here are other "epic" album titles I like: Piper at the Gates of Dawn In the Court of the Crimson King Starless and Bible Black Script for a Jester's Tear Vigil in a Wilderness Of Mirrors The Songs of Distant Earth Fais que ton rêve soit plus long que la nuit (May your dreams be longer than the night) The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table Some Tangerine Dream song titles: Journey Through a Burning Brain Sunrise in the Third System Fly and Collision of Comas Sola Birth of Liquid Plejades Origin of Supernatural Probabilities Big Sleep in Search of Hades 3am at the Border of the Marsh From Okefenokee Mysterious Semblance at the Strand Of Nightmares Rising Runner Missed by Endless Sender Pilots of Purple Twilight (from a Tennyson poem) |

Larks' Tongues in Aspic gets my vote as a title (and also for the music, but that's a different story). Anyway, the title does not refer to anything that is eaten in England, but rather to a delicacy that was often featured in Ancient Roman banquets. |

I understand it was a favourite of Henry VIII's, but they never seem to have it at my local Tesco. |

Tales for me I was so pumped by the title and the fact that Yes was releasing a double album then I listened to the music. What a disappointment. The title is still really cool, though :) ------------- Prog On! |

From Sid Smith's book In the Court of the Crimson King on the Larks' Tongue sessions: "Fripp was certain that no new lyricist would enjoy the same position of close collaboration Peter Sinfield had occupied. [Jamie] Muir was of the view that, as intelligent creative people, they should be able to come up with the words themselves. [ . . . ] Given this, Fripp not unreasonably asked if the percussionist had any lyrics that might be suitable [to this new music]. 'Of course I didn't,' recalls a slightly chastened Muir. 'Actually I tried, but it was absolute rubbish. It was some awful Gothic thing and I was intensely embarrassed about it and it was quite rightly politely declined.' "But Muir did coin a phrase with a significance belying the off-the-wall nature of its creation. When asked to describe the music they were making, Muir came up with 'Larks' Tongues in Aspic.'" (159) ------------- The damage that we do is just so powerfully strong we call it love The damage that we do just goes on and on and on but not long enough. --Robyn Hitchcock |

H to HE is a bit too crazy for me and Larks Tongues in Aspic is kind of gross. Tales is a solid title and it would make me at least somewhat interested in what the album is like from hearing or reading it. |

Tales doesnt make any sense, though its rather poetic. Larks' is nice and wacky, though it's KC so you can never know what their true intention was. H to He is just amazingly clever. H to He it is. ------------- 20+ prog bands discovered and explored in 3 years, still going strong... |

I don't think any of the titles are particularily good, as is the case with most prog titles! Larks is the least awful. I prefer simple descriptive titles, like this  and this  a Danish release, it translates to "13 songs about the European Union, played and sung by the EF-group" perfect no BS title. From the prog realm, a favourite is NEU! - elegant short and very descriptive! |
